Read the excerpt from "the most dangerous game." "i wanted the ideal animal to hunt," explained the general. "so i said: 'what are the attributes of an ideal quarry? ' and the answer was, of course, 'it must have courage, cunning, and, above all, it must be able to reason.'" "but no animal can reason," objected rainsford.
